This Memory Dog is made from a shirt or the clothing of someone who has passed or matured. It is a perfect way to memorialize a loved one! The Dog is a excellent size to hold at night or display on a shelf. It can make a very touching gift for a friend or family member who has lost someone they love. 
This Dog was 100% designed and created by me ,Sunny Rodriguez.  Sorry, I am not selling the pattern for others to sew at this time. 
The Dogs are 15" from the heel to the top of the head. When in a sitting position ,they are 11" from the bottom to the top of the head. The stomach measures 8" wide by 6" tall. If you have a shirt you would like the logo on the bear, the logo must fit within these dimensions.  Sadly anything bigger would be cut off but could be placed in other places on the dog.
Compatible Fabrics
These dogs can be made from button down shirts, Hoodies,  Sweatshirts,  blankets and  sweaters with tight stitching. 
Purchasing stabilizer for 
Thin or See-Through fabrics is reccomended. Some examples of thinner shirts are tshirts and women's polyester stretchy shirts. Please see the listing in our shop for stabilizer.
 Leather jackets, coats made of down feathers, and fur coats are not recommended for this item. 
Dogs will recieve collars only if the shirt had a collar. Other garmets that do not come with a collar or button down strip will receive a bow. Message me if you want the fabric to be a specific color. Or you can send another item of clothing to make the bow with.
The nose of the dog is black. If you plan to  send a black fabric it may not stand out.
Size Shirts that can be used:
Men's XL long sleeve  shirt can make 2 15" bears. If it is a collard shirt is provided one dog will have a collar, the other bear will have a bow. A short sleeve XL shirt will only make one dog. Clothing can shrink in the wash or run smaller in size. I see this more often in women's clothing. 
Medium  or large long or short sleeve shirt will make one dog.
Small or smaller shirts will not make a dog. However you can provide more then one shirt to help complete a dog.  I suggest long sleeved shirts be sent.
I can also purchase matching fabric to help complete a dog if there isn't enough. 
Embroidery
Embroidery can be placed on the chest or foot. The foot can only have 6 letters or 3 rows of 6 letters. The chest can have Name birthdate and passing date. Please be very sure about the correct spelling of name or accurate date, you give me to embroider. I can only redo an embroidered piece if there is enough fabric available. There will be a $5 charge to correct any errors.
Please provide your embroidery information in the message to seller section. You can also label the clothing that you send. 
Each dog is specifically designed to use the  details available to resemble the the shirt as much as possible. If the shirt has a button collar, zipper collar, button down strip, buttoned shoulder tabs, buckles, lace, sequins, beads, embroidery or a picture , I do my best to  add it to the dog. The dog will not recieve these details if a customer requests they be left off or if it wont cut or sew. If you are unsure, you can always message me!  Details that interfere with the construction of the dog will have to be left off. If you are unsure if a detail can be kept ,please contact me . You are welcome to send pictures of your garmet to gain a clearer understanding.
Memory items are made from clothing that has been washed an worn. They can be fragile. These items are not a toy and are meant to be on display. It is recommended that you wash the clothing before sending it. It is not recommended to place the dog  in washing machine.
